#gw2 charr
Rainbow Charr!
[ID: Guild Wars 2 fanart. A warm artwork in yellow, orange and brown tones depicting Rytlock Brimstone. He’s topless and he’s wearing his revenant blindfold on. He’s slightly lifting it up with a claw and staring right at the viewer, smiling in somewhat a challenging way. The background is light orange. End ID]
Always wanted to draw Rytlock just. like this

My piece for the @guildwars2@wintersdayzine ! A young charr cub gets the best present ever.
This was such a fun piece to work on and I feel honoured to be in such a wonderful collection of art and literature, and to have raised money for a fantastic cause <3

Hey all, we’re alive! We finished Khan, shipped him off to TwitchCon, and won Best in Category for Larger than Life! We’re super stoked to have been able to show off our love for Guild wars 2 at Twitch, like a lighthouse in the sea of Fortnight and Overwatch.
We made fantastic friends with the other contestants, but now we’re ready to bury ourselves in the kitchen for a century and not think about giant costumes. Either that or attempt the Mad Clock tower for the 42nd time in MJ’s case.

A compilation of a couple of the pictures we got during our first full wearing of Khan yesterday. He’s built on a foam base with PVC ribs and all of his armor is foam as well. He took about three months of work to get to this point and we couldn’t be happier with him. Best part is, we can get in and out of him in under ten minutes!
…I’m so tired…
Here’s some final shots of our submission for Twitchcon, MJ’s in-game main character Khan Grimblood.

With her constantly breaking crystal horns, Asa’s never met anyone or anything else that looked anything at all like her. Until she meets the rock gazelles with their equally rough, irregular exteriors, and falls instantly in love. (Sorry you’re not a ranger, asa, but you can still have like 50 of them as pets I promise.)

Today in unlikely crossovers… @charr-salad sent me “getting over it with bennett foddy” today. The both of us just… look at rage games as a challenge and an excuse to laugh, a lot. Our rage meters are broken.
As a thanks, I had to draw lyza, (see more of lyza: on their blog here, or on here on mine!) probably not getting over it.
To be fair, Lyza has been living her own personal “getting over it” since the day she met Fellow. A series of impossible mountains in one game, or one trolling sylvari in another, it’s all the same.

Libra is a character that is very deeply mired in mythos, and her own sense of law and superstitions. I thought for a long time that she would particularly suit a tarot card drawing. In this one she is mimicing the “justice” card.
Libra is a super fun character for me. She definitely has an orange and blue mentality, and thinks karma is more of a law of all universes than gravity. She will not take something without also giving - she wont give without taking. She lives by a very fey mindset, in which all things must be even and balanced. Even if her idea of even and balanced is complete nonsense to everyone else. Finally drawing her in this sort of Tarot card pose etc was a complete blast.
(as a side note!! I am not involved with the gw2 tarot card project! I am not representing them, Libra isn’t indicative of anything they’re doing. But the project looks like a blast - check out their tumblr here: https://gw2collective.tumblr.com/ and look forward to seeing what they get up to. I know I am. c: )
also! If you want to see more of my art than just gw stuff, you can always find that over on @drawsomething
under the cut, I’ll go through some of the changes I made to the original card and why/why they suit libra better!
I changed her heavy armor into lighter cloth to represent the robes of the original card better. I didn’t want to draw her in the full “robes of the people”, because she isn’t a creature of Tyria, exactly, and isn’t “of” any of them. I decided to put her in a shendyt - a ye olde egyptian loincloth that everyone wore, regardless of class. A pharaoh might wear it just the same as a farmer, which I think works even better than some formal robes to show that you are “for the people.” I styled hers particularly after a hunters fold (as far as my research implied, anyway.) I did manage keep the shape language of her original armor.
I compromised on the shoe of the original card by having her standing on just the one foot. One foot planted on the ground, physically and metaphorically. She may not be of Tyria, but for now she is grounded to it, even if its just the barest tie.
She kept justice’s original scales for judgement, but I did change the double edged sword of truth into a fire that could burn just as indiscriminately. Libra currently lives in the body of a flame legion shaman who made a Bad Deal with her and lost his life because her offended her. The flame is a bit of tribute to her idea of karmic justice.
The chains also pay tribute to that start - Libra was a chaos spirit summoned by the flame legion for power. On finding out how the flame legion feels about women, what they do with them, she took her own retribution. The original card has a cloth backdrop blocking out/framing the sky, which I have changed to chains here. She’s stuck in this body for now, but is not chained by the expectations they had of her, of female charr.
I didn’t give her the crown that the original card has, but the face libra uses in game actually does have that crown of horns along the forehead, and I thought it worked just as well.

Some headshots of my new squad of toons, since my Commanders (Zantelia and Saga) deserve a vacation after EoD.
A war veteran charr who left his life behind to be one with nature and the sky above.
A mysterious creature from the mists hiding as a human bard among mortals.
An ex inquest who had to spent decades alone in the worst levels of the mists after a failed experiment.
A secondborn with a love for technology, fled to Cantha after the rise of Scarlet Briar, who once she called a friend.
And a young human necromancer, claiming to be a descendant of Saga herself, with a bad temper and fast fists, desiring to become as powerful as their ancestor.
